I had tons of fun getting to know my new lens yesterday. I have to say, it's a bit different working with a fixed focus and getting to know it's focal distance, but oh, wow - the clarity and depth of field this lens produces? I can see me falling in love soon! Tell me what you think. These photos of my Turner and his army men were my first practice. To tell you how great the depth of field is, let me say that T's face was DIRECTLY behind those men - no more than a few inches. Unreal, I think!See what I mean? Falling in love!

Before I head out for the day, I had to tell you about one my favorite gifts from my children. I want to make sure to get it down here so I don't let this memory get away from me. While I was opening the sweet handmade gifts from my boys, my oldest tucked in one of his hard-earned dollars with the card he had made for me (complete with a picture of the entire family he drew!). I looked at him in shock asking why he had given me a $1 when had had already made me such a beautiful present. He looked at me and smiled and told me it was for a McDonald's diet coke! I about died. Does my kid know me or what? Hee! I am truly one blessed mama!
